Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 1106 - 146: A Cornered Star Domain

Many linked products used to seem impressive without knowing why, but having been exposed to multiple commercial planning projects, she could now discern the marketing ideas behind them at a glance. As for the stars on them, most could only be considered entertainment traffic figures, with not much worth praising. Buying those wasn’t as good as buying something with a simple or unique design.

After a final round of selection, her expenditure was just over 700 Federation Coins, not as expensive as Tilan had expected.

Then, Tilan and Deloris visited various shops on the street, including clothing stores, dessert restaurants, arcades, and cinemas. By the time they finished shopping, it was evening.

"In total, we spent about 3500 Federation Coins." Tilan calculated afterward.

"Ah, the things I couldn’t reach as a child now actually only cost this much." Today she completely enjoyed trying things she hadn’t tried before, originally thinking she would spend tens of thousands.

"Tilan had quite a tough childhood, huh." Deloris comforted the young girl.

"Not really, although it was a bit poor, it wasn’t to the point of surviving, and compared to some peers, I was quite average." Tilan shook her head.

"It’s just that compared to now, the change is really significant." After saying this, she looked at the ceiling, transformed into a starry sky, which resembled the past.

Then, the two took a hover car to the house where Tilan used to live, already guarded in advance.

Thanking the few officers guarding the place, Tilan and Deloris went inside, then awakened the sleeping autonomous unit and simply cleaned up the accumulated dust in the room. Later, Tilan went to the familiar bathroom to take a bath.

’Did you live here afterward?’ asked the other girl in the bathroom mirror.

’Yes.’ the girl answered in consciousness.

’Seems like there’s been quite a change since I left.’ When Temisia was alive, Tilan’s family lived in the higher Uptown District, and their house was far more spacious than now.

’Hmm.’ Tilan felt a bit downhearted.

’Alright, I was a bit wrong back then.’ Temisia admitted, not evasively this time, genuinely feeling a bit sorry for her sister.

"Just didn’t expect they would leave things unattended." Temisia thought that even if she was willful back then, if Saint Ingo Academy had slightly consoled or supported them, Tilan’s family wouldn’t have ended up living like this.

After the sentiments, the girl in the mirror returned to normal. Tilan also dried off and then wore underwear and a nightgown, walking out.

"For bathing, you need to use the handle inside to adjust the water temperature." Tilan instructed in advance, worried that Deloris might not be used to this old-fashioned manual shower.

"Got it, actually these are quite common, right?" Deloris tilted her head slightly.

"Where? I’ve seen that your house is entirely automatic sensing types." Tilan teased a little.

Back in the living room, Tilan sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and checked out recent programs, many of which were about news within the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain. Occasionally, there would be reports about the overall situation of the Federation and some major events in the outer Star Domain.

It was apparent that the Four-leaf Crystal economy was developing well, experiencing stable growth. The redevelopment of the northern region had brought about substantial employment opportunities and attracted considerable outer Star Domain capital investment.

After watching TV for a while, Deloris finished bathing and emerged wrapped in a towel, her hair still a bit damp, exuding a slight warm mist from just exiting the bathroom.

"Is there a hairdryer?" Deloris scanned around, seemingly not seeing anything similar.

"Here." Tilan waved, signaling Deloris to sit over, then gently poked Deloris’s brow with her fingertip, making her feel a slight chill throughout her body. Subsequently, the moisture on her hair condensed into smooth, tiny ice beads, followed by a breeze flowing between Tilan’s hands, absorbing and swirling up these ice beads, clashing in the air. Then they coalesced into an exceptionally transparent ice ball.

"Done." Tilan looked at the ice ball in her hand, raised her hand allowing it to float automatically, heading towards the side bathroom, then landing in the basin.

"Your ability always feels novel." Deloris tidied her hair, then simply tied it up.

There were ice-controlling Transcendents, but few manipulated it as delicately as Tilan. If she wasn’t careful, Deloris might have turned into a large ice block.

The two sat together, watched TV shows for a while, then returned to their rooms to rest.

After a good night’s sleep, Tilan and Deloris brought some small gifts to visit old acquaintances, like Grandma He’s family and a few neighbors. Much of the stationery bought the day before was also given to Lisha, now in middle school.

"Thank you, Hexia Sister~" Nowadays, Lisha had grown taller, with short, slightly curly blonde hair, wearing a bright yellow and pale white dress, appearing rather youthful and cute.

"Study hard." Tilan smiled, patting Lisha’s head, probably thinking in a few years she wouldn’t be able to do this, she thought.

Since things at home slowly got better, Grandma He’s life had become leisure and relaxed considerably, even more energetic than a few years ago. But facing Tilan, she was exceptionally cautious and apprehensive, aware that the girl in front was no longer the ordinary neighbor’s girl who worked but a truly significant figure, far more aware of the Songstress’s status than her grandson He Cheng.
